The 76ers (51-26) are back in Milwaukee, set for their final regular season meeting with the Bucks (55-22). Sunday's matchup marks another clash between two of the best in the East, with the Bucks continuing to hold the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, and the Sixers occupying No. 3 (the Boston Celtics (54-24) hold No. 2). The Sixers are 2-1 against the Bucks this season, most recently launching one of their most impressive comebacks of the season to take a 133-130 win in Milwaukee on March 4.
The vibes are now on point, and have led to recent consistent play. It's the other stuff that has made the 76ers a team that is worthy of being celebrated. When talking about James Harden, Joel Embiid said he's never played with a playmaker quite like the 10-time All-Star. Tyrese Maxey and De'Anthony Melton have remained each other's biggest supporters even while things were awkward with Melton replacing Maxey as the starting shooting guard.
When the 76ers fell into a 13-point second-half deficit during a March 15 visit to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Danuel House Jr. believed it was time to speak up in a timeout huddle. Multiple teammates referenced House's motivational message, without prompting, as a turning point of what became a key 118-109 victory — and as a tone-setter for the Sixers' run of eight consecutive road wins during a brutal March.
